CONDITIONS OF SALE
Unless otherwise stated in writing by an authorized representative of Seller, all transactions between the Buyer and Seller are expressly subject to these Terms. Buyer accepts these Terms by signing and returning Seller’s quotation, by sending a purchase order in response to the quotation, or by Buyer’s instructions to Seller to ship the Product or by Buyer’s acceptance of delivery of the Product. The Seller will not be bound by any terms proposed by Buyer, whether in purchase orders or otherwise, which are additional to or different from the terms and conditions set forth herein. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice and become immediately effective. Seller expressly rejects any terms inconsistent with these Terms or to any other terms proposed by Buyer in accepting Seller’s quotation, and Seller’s performance is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s acceptance of the Terms. Neither Seller's subsequent lack of objection to any terms nor the delivery of the Products will constitute an agreement by Seller to any such terms. Seller reserves the right to decline a purchase order based on Seller’s review of product, components, drawings, or other items being supplied by Buyer. These Terms, as may be amended from time to time, comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all preceding agreements pertaining to the Products, except as hereafter modified by Seller in writing and signed by Seller’s authorized representative.
PRICES
Prices are subject to change without notice. No discount will be allowed unless specifically set forth on the face of the order thereof and accepted by Seller, in writing. In the event of a price increase, quoted material not covered by a firm purchase order entered on Seller’s computer system by the Seller may be subject to adjustment to those in effect at time of shipment. Buyer may not apply price changes to unfulfilled purchase orders that have been entered into the Seller’s system without written authorization from the Seller. Possession of Seller’s published price sheets does not obligate Seller to sell to the Buyer possessing the price sheets.
QUOTATIONS
Valid quotations are those issued by Seller and, unless otherwise specified, are subject to Buyer’s written acceptance within 30 days of issuance to be valid. The Seller can modify quotations prior to their expiration date if the Buyer has not yet accepted them. Seller’s quoted prices apply for the quantity stated on Buyer’s RFQ. Seller reserves the right to make price adjustments on items where quantities exceed the original quoted quantity or which exhibit extreme volatility costs or to rescind prices on items with no order activity within 120 days of the quote date. Published lead times on our website or provided as part of a quotation are subject to applicable adjustment upon receipt of PO. All clerical errors are subject to correction.
TAXES
Published or quoted prices do not include any taxes, however designated or imposed, including, without limitation, sales, use, excise, value-added, and withholding taxes that are levied or based on the amounts paid under these Terms (collectively, “Taxes”). Any Taxes related to the Products purchased pursuant to these Terms are the responsibility of Buyer unless Buyer presents an exemption certificate acceptable to Seller and the applicable taxing authorities. If possible, Seller will bill Taxes as a separate item on the invoice presented to Buyer. If Seller is required to pay any such Taxes or other charges, Buyer will reimburse Seller on demand. If any exemption certificate presented by Buyer is held to be invalid, then Buyer will immediately pay Seller the amount of the Tax and any penalties and interest related thereto.
CREDIT
Acceptance of orders will be subject to Buyer providing Seller with an acceptable Credit Application. If in the judgment of Seller, the financial condition of the Buyer, at any time, does not prove worthy of extending credit, the Seller may require full or partial payment in advance of production or shipment.
PAYMENT TERMS
Unless modified in writing by Seller’s quotation, terms of payment are net 30 days from date of invoice payable in US funds. Accounts that become overdue will be subject to a 1.5% monthly service charge until paid and Buyer will be liable for reimbursing Seller’s expenses and legal fees in collecting such accounts. Until full payment has been received, Seller will have a purchase money security interest in the Products sold. Buyer agrees to execute any document appropriate or necessary to perfect the security interest of Seller, or in the alternative Seller may file this agreement as a financing statement and/or chattel mortgage. Seller reserves all other rights granted to a seller under the Uniform Commercial Code for Buyer’s failure to pay for the Products or any other breach by Buyer of these Terms. In addition to all other rights and remedies available to Seller (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller may also suspend shipments of open orders to Buyer until Buyer’s account is current. Buyer may not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable as a set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, regardless of whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy, or otherwise.
ORDERS
Minimum charge on any individual order is $1000 net. Orders not meeting the above minimum will be automatically raised to and billed at the minimum billing level. All orders, including order deferrals, are subject to final acceptance by Seller at its Fort Mill, SC headquarters. Order deferrals may be subject to a price adjustment. Individual line items on Buyer’s order may be subject to either a minimum price or quantity. If a price discrepancy exists on an order, the order in question will not be entered into Seller’s order system until the price issue is resolved and the order is amended in writing. Storm Emergency orders requiring expedited delivery may carry additional charges. All emergency (storm) orders require freight to be paid by Buyer.
Requests for shipping deferments must be approved by Seller and are subject to price negotiation. Each release on a multi-release order will be treated as an individual order with respect to freight allowance and minimum order value.
ORDER ADD-ONS
Items can be added to Buyer’s order at the original order terms within 5 calendar days of original order entry as long as the original order has not shipped complete.

PACKING
Seller’s prices are based on standard packaging suitable for domestic shipments in the 48 contiguous United States. If special packaging is required by Buyer additional charges will be invoiced to the Buyer.
SHIPMENT ESTIMATES
The Products as quoted will be ready for delivery at the lead time stated from receipt of purchase order. Lead time is contingent on current workload at the time the order is placed. Every effort will be made to ship orders by the date promised by Seller, but delivery dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to make shipments as scheduled.
In no circumstance will Seller be responsible for failure to meet delivery dates or be liable for any loss or damage or for any special, incidental, consequential or liquidated damages to Buyer resulting from failure to deliver within the times specified. Unless otherwise amended and approved in writing, Seller reserves the right to ship up to 30 days in advance of the acknowledged shipping date. Seller reserves the right to make shipment in installments which will be separately invoiced and paid when due without regard to subsequent deliveries.
TRANSPORTATION
Unless otherwise provided by Seller in writing, all Products furnished hereunder, including deliveries after repair or replacement, will be shipped F.O.B. Origin with transportation by the most economical means, prepaid and allowed for any single order or release with a value of
$7500 net or more and allowing for shipment at one time to a single delivery point within the 48 contiguous United States. Seller reserves the right to route all qualified freight allowed shipments via least expensive surface route within the Continental United States and Canada. Buyer will assume all charges for transportation specified via more expensive means. All Seller’s North American Products can be combined on a single order to achieve minimum for prepaid freight For orders below $7500 net, Seller will ship prepaid with freight cost added to the invoice or Buyer can request freight collect (UPS cannot ship freight collect without Buyer providing their account number). EXCEPTION: OEM orders will be freight collect. Expedited orders require the buyer to pay freight.
Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii, meeting the above requirements, will be shipped to the nearest west coast port chosen by Seller, unless quoted otherwise, with freight collect beyond. For shipments outside the U.S. contact the Seller for freight terms.
Seller reserves the right to select shipping point, method, and route of shipment. When Buyer selects method (including flatbed trailers or expedited items) and/or route or timing of shipment, any resultant additional expenses will be invoiced to the Buyer. No credit for any shipping or freight cost will be allowed to Buyer if Buyer accepts shipment or product at Seller’s factory or warehouse or otherwise supplies its own transportation. Seller will not be liable for any cartage or storage charges at destination. Title and risk of loss will pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the products by the Seller to the carrier. Seller’s factory shipping locations are: CHATEAUGAY, QUEBEC, CANADA; TRENTON, TN; ALABASTER, AL; MEMPHIS, TN; YORK, SC & NEWBERRY, SC.
Seller’s responsibility for exception-free delivery ceases when the transportation company receives shipment in good condition. Claims for obvious loss, pallet shortages, or damage must be reported directly to the carrier and Seller at time of delivery. Buyer will have no more than 14 calendar days to report other shortages to Seller in order to properly file a freight claim. Seller’s willingness to assist does not indicate liability for claim or replacement.
Any issues noticed at the point of delivery need to be clearly stated on the carrier’s Delivery Receipt (LTL Carriers) or Bill of Lading (Truckload or Intermodal Carriers). This must occur for a claim to be able to be filed later if required. If it is determined that a claim needs to be filed with a transportation provider for recovery due to loss or damage, the freight terms will dictate the responsible party.
Our most common freight terms are as follows:
Freight Prepaid
In this arrangement, the Seller accepts the responsibility for freight charges and freight claims exposure. Seller would be the party that would file the freight claim with the carrier. Seller would issue credit to the consignee or ship replacement material (at no cost) to the customer in the amount of the loss. The revised (14) calendar day notification period for advising Seller of discrepancies applies to this situation as well.
Freight Collect or Freight Third Party
In this arrangement, Buyer is responsible for the freight charges and freight claims exposure. Seller would not file the freight claim. The consignee would be the party responsible for filing the freight claim. Seller would not issue credit to the consignee nor ship replacement material (at no cost) for any lost or damaged goods as this recovery will come from the consignee’s requested carrier.
EXPORTATION
If the Products ordered are to be exported from the U.S., the quoted shipping dates are subject to receipt of all export documents and authorizations. The prices quoted are based on packing for domestic shipment. Reasonable price adjustments may be applied by Seller for packaging for international shipments. If the Products are to be exported, Buyer will provide Seller, in writing in advance, with the ultimate destination and identity of the end-user prior to shipment. In all instances, Buyer will select and be solely responsible for the freight forwarder, carrier, and/or broker. All exports from the U.S. will be in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. Buyers shipping to non-U.S. destinations are solely responsible for complying with applicable U.S. export laws. Buyer is advised that export of certain of Seller’s Products to certain destinations requires an export license.
ACCEPTANCE
Any missing pallet must be declared at time of shipping receipt. Any missing boxes within the pallet must be declared within fourteen days of receipt of invoice. Failure to provide Seller with written notice within the prescribed timeframe obligates Buyer to have waived such errors, defects, or shortages and to have accepted Buyer’s items as delivered. All discrepancies should be immediately reported to your applicable Seller customer service representative.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Seller will assign a shipment date based on scheduled availability and lead times, orders are subject to re-acknowledgement. Requests for shipments inside of the original acknowledgement date as shown on MPServiceNet is considered an expedite and may require the Buyer to pay freight. Any order with a request date outside standard lead time will be shipped within lead time, unless the order is deferred at Buyer’s request.
DROP SHIPMENT
Buyer must pay freight for all orders requesting delivery to a location other than to a recognized Buyer stocking warehouse. Exceptions are made for civil market buyers, transmission project orders, full truckload quantities, and export orders.

BROKEN PACKAGE
Orders must be placed for standard package quantities. Orders with lines that are not placed with standard package quantities will be held until Seller contacts the Buyer to authorize an adjustment to standard package quantities.

Orders for these items will be accepted on a non-cancelable, non-returnable basis.

Buyer must notify Seller of any suspected discrepancies within fourteen calendar days of receipt of invoice. Requests for Proof of Delivery documents must also be received within fourteen calendar days of invoice receipt.

MPS Terms and Conditions Canada-English

Effective: 01/01/2017

CONDITIONS OF SALE
Unless otherwise stated in writing by an authorized representative of MacLean Power Systems (hereafter "Seller"), all transactions between the Buyer and Seller are expressly subject to these terms and conditions. The Seller will not be bound by any terms proposed by Buyer, whether in purchase orders or otherwise, which are additional to or different from the terms and conditions set forth herein. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice and become immediately effective.
PRICES
Prices are subject to change without notice. In the event of a price increase, quoted material not covered by a firm purchase order entered on Seller`s computer system by the Seller may be subject to adjustment to those in effect at time of shipment. Buyer may not apply price changes to unfulfilled purchase orders that have been entered into the Seller`s system without written authorization from the Seller. Possession of Seller's published price sheets does not obligate Seller to sell to the Buyer possessing the price sheets.
QUOTATIONS
Valid quotations are those issued by Seller and, unless otherwise specified, are valid 30 days. Seller’s quoted prices apply for the quantity stated on Buyer’s RFQ. Seller reserves the right to modify quotations and/or to make price adjustments on items where quantities exceed the original quoted quantity or which exhibit extreme volatility costs or to rescind prices on items with no order activity within 120 days of the quote date. All clerical errors are subject to correction.
TAXES
Published or quoted prices do not include sales, excise, or similar taxes that are the responsibility of the Buyer. Where Seller is required to collect such taxes, they will be invoiced as a separate item to Buyer unless an appropriate tax exemption certificate is filed with Seller. Taxes not billed by the Seller are the responsibility of the Buyer.
CREDIT
Acceptance of orders shall be subject to Buyer providing Seller with an acceptable Credit Application. If in the judgment of Seller, the financial condition of the Buyer, at any time, does not prove worthy of extending credit, the Seller may require full or partial payment in advance of production or shipment.
PAYMENT TERMS
Unless modified in writing by Seller`s quotation, terms of payment are net 30 days from date of invoice, payable in Canadian funds. Accounts that become overdue will be subject to a 1.5% monthly service charge until paid and Buyer will be liable for reimbursing Seller's expenses and legal fees in collecting such accounts. Seller may also suspend shipments of open orders to Buyer until Buyer's account is current.
ORDERS
Minimum release quantities may apply to individual line items on orders. If a price discrepancy exists on an order the line in question will not be entered into Seller’s order system until the price issue is resolved and the order is amended in writing. All orders, including order deferrals, are subject to final acceptance by Seller's Sales Department at its Chateauguay, Quebec Office. Storm Emergency orders requiring expedited delivery may carry additional charges. All emergency (storm) orders require freight to be paid by the buyer.
ORDER ADD-ONS
Items can be added to Buyer’s order at the original order terms within 5 business days of original order entry as long as the original order has not shipped complete.
PACKAGING
Seller's prices are based on standard packaging suitable for domestic shipments. If special packaging is required by Buyer, additional charges will be invoiced to the Buyer.
SHIPMENT ESTIMATES
Shipment dates as set forth on order acknowledgments are approximate. Although Seller will use all reasonable efforts to meet shipment dates, Seller will not be responsible for failure to meet said dates. In no event will Seller be liable for any loss or damage or for any special, incidental, consequential or liquidated damages to Buyer resulting from failure to deliver within the times specified. Unless otherwise amended and approved in writing, Seller reserves the right to ship up to 30 days in advance of the acknowledged, estimated shipping date. Seller reserves the right to make shipment in installments which shall be separately invoiced and paid when due without regard to subsequent deliveries.
TRANSPORTATION POLICY
All shipments will be made F.O.B. Origin, with transportation by the most economical means, prepaid and allowed for any single order or release with a value of $7500 net or more for shipment at one time to a single delivery point in Canada, excluding Enclosures and Pad products. For shipments outside Canada, contact the Seller’s Sales Department for freight terms. All MPS products may be combined on a single order to meet the terms and conditions of this transportation policy. EXCEPTION: OEM orders will be freight collect or prepaid & charged. Expedited orders require the buyer to pay freight. Seller reserves the right to select shipping point, method and route of shipment. When Buyer selects method and route of shipment, any resulting additional expenses will be invoiced to the Buyer. No credit for any shipping or freight cost will be allowed to Buyer if Buyer accepts shipment or product from Seller's origin location or otherwise supplies its own transportation. Title and risk of loss shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the products by the Seller to the carrier. MPS origin locations are: TRENTON & MEMPHIS, TN..; PE LHAM & AL ABASTE R, AL.; YORK & NEWBERRY, SC.; CHA TEAUGUAY, Q UEBEC, CANADA AND ST.YORRE, FRANCE. MPS’s responsibility for exception-free delivery ceases when the transportation company receives shipment in good condition. Claims for obvious loss, pallet shortages, or damage must be reported directly to the carrier and MPS at time of delivery. Buyer will have no more than 10 business days to report other shortages to MPS in order to properly file a freight claim. MPS’s willingness to assist does not indicate liability for claim or replacement.
Any issues noticed at the point of delivery need to be clearly stated on the carrier’s Delivery Receipt (LTL Carriers) or Bill of Lading (Truckload or Intermodal Carriers). This must occur for a claim to be able to be filed later if required. If it is determined that a claim needs to be filed with a transportation provider for recovery due to loss or damage, the freight terms will dictate the responsible party.
Our most common freight terms are as follows:
FREIGHT PREPAID
In this arrangement, the seller accepts the responsibility for freight charges and freight claims exposure. MPS would be the party that would file the freight claim with the carrier. MPS would issue a credit to the consignee or ship replacement material (at no cost) to the customer in the amount of the loss. The revised 10 business day notification period for advising MPS of discrepancies applies to this situation as well.
FREIGHT COLLECT OR FREIGHT THIRD PARTY
In this arrangement, the buyer is responsible for the freight charges and freight claims exposure. MPS would not file the freight claim. The consignee would be the party responsible for filing the freight claim. MPS would not issue credit to the consignee nor ship replacement material (at no cost) for any lost or damaged goods as this recovery will come from the consignee’s requested carrier.
ACCEPTANCE
Any missing pallet must be declared at time the shipment is received. Any missing boxes within the pallet must be declared within 10 business days of receipt of invoice. Failure to provide Seller with written notice within the prescribed timeframe obligates Buyer to have waived such errors, defects or shortages and to have accepted Buyer’s items as delivered.
ZONE DAYS
Seller will assign the Buyer a zone day for shipment based on their geographical region. Requests for shipments outside of zone day or the original acknowledgment date is considered expedite and may require the Buyer to pay freight. Any order with a request date outside standard lead time will be shipped within lead time, unless the order is deferred at buyer’s request.
DROP SHIPMENT
Buyer must pay freight for all orders requesting delivery to a location other than to a recognized Buyer stocking warehouse. Exceptions can be made based on an understanding between Seller and Buyer for Drop Ship location in proximity to the Buyer’s main location at the same freight cost.
BROKEN PACKAGE CHARGE
Orders must be placed for standard package quantities. Line items that are not placed with standard package quantities may be held until MPS contacts the Buyer to authorize an adjustment to standard package quantities. The Seller also has the right to raise order quantities to multiples of standard package, per item. For order items that the standard packages can be broken, Seller has the right to charge Buyer a 20% broken pack fee for the item.
NON STANDARD OR SPECIAL ITEMS
Orders for non-standard or special, made to order items, even though outlined in Seller’s catalog, will be accepted on non-cancelable basis. The quantity manufactured, shipped, and invoiced may vary by 10% above or below the ordered quantity, and the order will be considered as shipped complete without further consequence.
ADJUSTMENTS
Unauthorized deductions by Buyer from its remittance to Seller will not be permitted unless Seller issues written authorization and credit memoranda. Buyer must notify Seller of any suspected discrepancies within 10 business days of receipt of invoice. Requests for Proof of Delivery documents must also be received within 10 business days of invoice receipt. Deductions exceeding those authorized by Seller will be invoiced by Seller and will become payable upon receipt. Failure to settle Buyer`s account may lead to suspension of future shipments to Buyer.
TOOLING
Seller shall retain title to and possession of any models, patterns, dies, molds, jigs, fixtures, tools and test equipment made for or obtained for the performance of any order, unless previously agreed to in writing by Seller.
TESTING
Unless otherwise stated in writing, prices include only Seller's standard test data. Any special testing required by the Buyer shall be invoiced accordingly unless included in the Seller's quotation. All testing must be completed at the factory of origin and Seller must provide test certificate to Buyer at the time the order is shipped. Buyer must clearly state all testing requirements at time of order.

MODIFICATIONS
Unless otherwise provided, Seller reserves the right to modify the specifications, materials, or manufacturing methods of products ordered by the Buyer if the modification will not materially affect the quality or performance of the product. Products may be discontinued, modified, or changed without incurring any obligation to the Seller.
RETURNED GOODS
Returns are authorized at the discretion of MPS. No material can be returned without first obtaining a written return goods authorization from Seller. A copy of this authorization must be included with the material being returned.
Products accepted for return must be in their original, unopened cartons, in standard package quantities, of current design and manufacture, and in resalable condition. Only stock items, as defined on the website product information page, can be returned. All returns are subject to a restocking and handling charge of 25% of the original net value of the products at the time of purchase. Any non-authorized product, product returned in non-standard pack, or any product deemed to be non-resalable will be disposed of and no credit given. Distributors are allowed one annual return per year at a total value of 5% of previous year’s sales at a 25% restocking fee.
Material authorized for return must be shipped prepaid to the Seller’s destination within 60 days of authorization. No products will be accepted for return in the month of December. The value of return must total a minimum $500.
CANCELLATION
Cancellation of part or all of an order is subject to acceptance by Seller’s Sales department in Chateauguay, Quebec. Storm orders, special, made to order items, items non-standard or listed as special priced are non-cancelable.
WARRANTY
Seller warrants that the products it manufactures and sells shall be free from defect in material and workmanship for a period of 18 months from date of shipment to Buyer, or 12 months from date of product installation, whichever is shorter. The warranty does not apply to any products that are misused, modified, repaired or otherwise abused by Buyers or others. Seller's sole obligation for breach of warranty shall be to repair or replace (F.O.B. original delivery point) any goods within 30 days of discovery of defect. All installation and transportation expenses, and all other incidental expenses and damages shall be borne by Buyer. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY TYPE OF SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PENAL DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF OR ARE A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.
Such damages shall include, but not be limited to, loss of profit or revenues, loss of use of the equipment or associated equipment, costs of substitute equipment, facilities, down time costs, increased construction costs or claims for damages, Seller shall not be liable for any loss, claim, expense or damage caused by, contributed to or arising out of the acts or omissions of Buyer, whether negligent or otherwise.
PRODUCT USAGE
Buyer agrees that by accepting Seller’s products, it agrees to use each product solely as Seller intended such product to be used and in accordance with Seller’s instructions. Buyer further agrees that improper operation, storage, or maintenance of Seller’s products could result in injury or death to a person, or damage to other property or equipment and it will hold Seller and its affiliates harmless for any such injury or damage. BUYER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HARMLESS AGAINST ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING ATTORNEY’S FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF ANY OF SELLER’S PRODUCTS.
PATENT INDEMNITY
Seller shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer based on a claim that any goods of Seller's design furnished to Buyer constitute an infringement of any patent. Buyer must notify Seller promptly, in writing, of such claim. Seller will not be liable if alleged infringement is the result of the application or use to which such goods are put by Buyer or others if different that Seller's application data.
Buyer agrees to protect Seller and save it harmless from all expenses and damages that result from claims or demands that goods manufactured by Seller according to Buyer's design or specification infringe the right, title or interest of any third party because of being so produced.

The foregoing states the entire liability of either party to the other with respect to infringement.

Rev.:04/12/2019

CONDITIONS DE VENTE
Sauf accord écrit d'un représentant autorisé de MacLean Power Systems (ci-après "le vendeur"), toute transaction entre l'acheteur et le vendeur est expressément régie par les présentes conditions générales. Le vendeur n'est pas lié par les conditions de l'acheteur, qu'elles figurent ou non sur le bon de commande, dans la mesure où elles sont différentes des présentes. Ces conditions générales sont sujettes à modification sans préavis et entrent en vigueur immédiatement. Exception : Si l’acheteur est une “utilité” et que ses termes mentionnent F.O.B. point de livraison, cette condition s’applique.
PRIX
LES PRIX SONT SUJETS À CHANGEMENT SANS PRÉAVIS. Dans l'éventualité d'une augmentation de prix, le matériel qui n'est pas couvert par une commande ferme, acceptée par le vendeur, est sujet à un ajustement selon le prix en vigueur au moment de l'expédition. L’acheteur ne peut pas utiliser un changement de prix pour un bon de commande non livré qui est dans le système du vendeur sans l’autorisation du vendeur. La possession des listes de prix publiées par le vendeur, n'oblige pas le vendeur à vendre à l'acheteur en possession des listes de prix.
SOUMISSIONS
Les soumissions valides sont celles émises par le service des Ventes du vendeur et, sauf mention contraire, elles sont valides pendant une période de 30 jours. Le vendeur peut modifier n’importe quelle soumission avant la date d'échéance si celle-ci n'a pas reçu l'approbation de l'acheteur. Le vendeur se réserve le droit de corriger toute erreur matérielle sur une soumission. Pour les soumissions globales, les prix cités du vendeur s'appliquent aux quantités indiquées sur l'appel d'offres. Le vendeur se réserve le droit de rectifier le prix des produits si aucune commande n'est faite dans les 120 premiers jours suivant l'activation de la soumission globale. Toute erreur d’écriture est assujettie à une correction.
TAXES
Les prix publiés ou inscrits sur une soumission s'entendent hors taxes, toutes les taxes applicables seront ajoutées sur la facture comme un article distinct.
CRÉDIT
Les commandes sont acceptées sous réserve que l'acheteur soit en mesure de justifier un crédit suffisant. Si le vendeur estime que la situation financière de l'acheteur, à un moment quelconque du processus de vente, représente un risque de crédit excessif, il est en droit d'exiger un règlement partiel ou complet de la commande avant la mise en production ou la livraison.
MODALITÉS DE PAIEMENT
SAUF MENTION ÉCRITE DANS LA SOUMISSION REMISE PAR LE VENDEUR, LES CONDITIONS DE PAIEMENT SONT NET À TRENTE (30) JOURS DE LA DATE DE LA FACTURE, EN DEVISES CANADIENNES.

Le vendeur peut également suspendre l'expédition de commandes ouvertes à l'acheteur jusqu'à ce que le compte de l'acheteur soit courant.
COMMANDES
La quantité minimale requise peut s’appliquer individuellement pour chaque produit d’une commande. Dans le cas d’une différence de prix sur une commande, la ligne de commande en question ne sera pas traitée jusqu’à ce que le problème soit résolu par écrit. Toute commande, incluant les commandes différées, sont sujettes à l'acceptation finale par le service des Ventes du vendeur au bureau de Châteauguay, Québec.

EMBALLAGE
Les prix du vendeur comprennent l'emballage standard convenant pour les expéditions sur le territoire national. Si l'acheteur exige un emballage spécial, des frais supplémentaires lui seront facturés.

ESTIMATION DE LIVRAISON
Les dates d’expédition mentionnées sur la confirmation de commande sont estimées. Le vendeur déploiera des efforts raisonnables afin de respecter les échéances prévues, mais n'assumera aucune responsabilité en cas de retard. Il décline par avance toute responsabilité à l'égard des pertes ou des dommages, ainsi que pour les conséquences particulières, incidentes ou consécutives, d'un retard dans les livraisons. Sauf entente particulière par écrit, le vendeur se réserve le droit de livrer jusqu'à 30 jours à l'avance par rapport à la date de livraison estimée. Le vendeur se réserve également le droit de livrer la marchandise en plusieurs tranches, chaque livraison étant facturée séparément et payable à la date d'échéance de la facture, sans égard aux dates des livraisons subséquentes.
POLITIQUE DE TRANSPORT
Toutes nos expéditions s'entendent F.A.B. origine du vendeur, selon la méthode de transport la plus économique, avec le transport payé, pour une destination canadienne unique, par commande complète ou livraison partielle, dont la valeur est de 7500$ canadiens ou plus. Pour les expéditions à l'extérieur du Canada, communiquez avec le service des Ventes du vendeur pour les modalités de livraison.
Tous les produits MPS peuvent être combinés sur une seule commande pour rencontrer les modalités et les conditions de cette politique de livraison. EXCEPTION: Les expéditions pour les clients OEM qualifiés seront expédiées par port dû ou prépayé et facturé. Le vendeur se réserve le droit de choisir le point d'expédition, le transporteur et l'itinéraire d'acheminement. Si l'acheteur impose un transporteur ou un itinéraire particulier, les frais supplémentaires résultants lui seront facturés. Aucun crédit ne sera donné pour les frais d'expédition ou de transport si l'acheteur prend possession de la livraison ou du produit à l'usine ou à l'entrepôt du vendeur, ou prend en charge le transport, de quelque manière que ce soit. L'acheteur devient propriétaire des marchandises et assume les risques de pertes dès que le vendeur a remis les produits au transporteur.
Les F.A.B. d’origine du vendeur sont : Trenton & Memphis, TN..; Pelham & Alabaster, AL.; York & Newberry, SC.; St.Yorre, France. Au Canada, le site d'expédition du vendeur est Châteauguay, Québec.
La responsabilité de MPS cesse quand l’entreprise de transport reçoit la marchandise en bon état. Toute réclamation pour la perte évidente, des items manquants sur une palette ou dommages doivent être rapportées directement au transporteur et MPS au moment de la livraison. L’acheteur a 10 jours ouvrables pour faire une demande de réclamation à MPS. La décision de MPS d’aider dans ces cas-ci, avec remplacement ou remboursement n’indique aucunement la responsabilité.
Tout problème remarqué au moment de la livraison doit être clairement indiqué sur les documents de réception ou connaissement/bon de livraison. Si la situation nécessite une réclamation envers le transporteur pour, récupérer une perte ou dommages, les termes de transport déterminent la responsabilité.
Les méthodes d’expédition standard :
Transport Payé
Dans cet arrangement, le vendeur accepte la responsabilité de frais de transport et réclamations s’il y a lieu. Le vendeur est responsable de faire la demande de réclamation avec le transporteur et est aussi responsable de faire une expédition de remplacement de matériel chez le client. L’acheteur a 10 jours ouvrables pour aviser le vendeur d’une erreur ou problème.
Transport port-dû ou tierce partie
Dans cet arrangement, l’acheteur accepte la responsabilité de frais de transport et réclamations s’il y a lieu. Le vendeur n’est pas responsable de faire la demande de réclamation avec le transporteur, et n’est pas dans l’obligation de remplacer, ni créditer le matériel perdu ou endommagé.
ACCEPTATION
Une palette manquante doit être déclarée au moment de la réception. Une boite manquante d’une palette doit être déclarée au vendeur dans les 10 jours ouvrables suite à la réception de la facture. Le défaut d'aviser le vendeur dans les délais prescrits, oblige l'acheteur à accepter les produits tels que livrés et libère le vendeur de toute erreur ou défaut.
JOURNÉE DE ZONE ASSIGNÉE
Le Vendeur assignera à l’acheteur une journée spécifique de la semaine pour ses expéditions basée sur la région géographique. Une demande d’expédition en dehors de cette journée pourrait requérir que l’acheteur paie les frais de transport.
LIVRAISON DIRECTE
L’acheteur pourrait devoir payer les frais de transport supplémentaires, pour une livraison directe à une adresse qui n’est pas à proximité de celui-ci.

DE FRACTIONNEMENT DE PAQUET STANDARD
Les items sur une commande doivent être commandés en respectant la quantité du paquet standard. Dans le cas où une commande est placée pour une quantité non-conforme, le vendeur contactera l’acheteur pour autorisation de changement de quantité. Cette ligne de commande sera retenue jusqu’au moment où l’acheteur autorise le changement. Le vendeur se réserve le droit d'augmenter au prochain multiple du paquet standard, la quantité livrée de chaque article. Dans le cas où le client le demande, et le vendeur est en mesure de vendre une quantité non standard, le vendeur se réserve le droit de vendre à un prix supérieur ou exiger un frais supplémentaire (20%).
ARTICLES NON-STANDARD OU DEMANDE SPÉCIAL
Les produits non standards (même si ces produits se trouvent dans le catalogue du vendeur) ou fabriqués sur mesure constituent une commande spéciale et ne peuvent être annulés. Les quantités fabriquées, expédiées et facturées peuvent varier de plus ou moins 10% de la quantité commandée et la commande sera alors considérée comme complète, sans conséquences.
CORRECTIONS DE FACTURE
Sauf autorisation écrite du vendeur, accompagnée d'une note de crédit, l'acheteur ne peut en aucun cas faire une déduction quelconque du montant facturé. L’acheteur doit aviser le vendeur de tout écart soupçonné, dans les 10 jours ouvrables de la réception de la facture. Une demande de preuve de livraison aussi doit être faite dans les 10 jours ouvrables, après la réception de la facture.
Pour toute déduction dépassant le montant accepté, qui figure sur la note de crédit du vendeur, la différence sera refacturée à l'acheteur et sera exigible sur réception. Tout compte en souffrance de paiement pourrait entrainer une suspension de livraisons futures.
OUTILLAGE
Le vendeur conserve ses titres de possession sur tous les modèles, maquettes, matrices, moules, gabarits, montages, outils et appareillages d'essai fabriqués ou achetés par le vendeur pour l'exécution d'une commande à moins d’un accord écrit par le vendeur.
